Analyze portfolio based on high-level cost constraints

After you have created an analysis and reviewed the relative priority values of the proposals, the next step is to analyze the proposals based on high-level cost constraints. You can set cost limits that will help narrow the list of proposals that can reasonably be approved as projects.

Note: This article and the videos it contains describe a typical portfolio analysis scenario. Your organization may have customized this process to meet unique business needs.

On the Quick Launch, under Cost Constraint Limits, adjust the value of the primary cost constraint, and then click Recalculate.

To include additional constraints using custom fields, under Cost Constraint Limits, click Add/Remove. Add the field, click OK, and then set the value for the field. Click Recalculate to see its impact on the scenario.

Click the Force in/out column for each row in the Projects table to choose to manually include or exclude a project in the scenario.

Type adjusted costs in the Projects table to evaluate what-if cost scenarios. Notify the proposal owner of the adjusted budget for the proposal, if this scenario is committed.

To override project dependencies for the scenario, on the Options tab, clear the Enforce Project Dependencies check box.
